Not everyone is used to pressing back and forwards on there browser
Because your browser has one. Why would you need a second?
Why not both?
Good for you. I've been getting rid of a lot of brainrot fodder myself and feel a lot better for it. Also setting up time limits for apps on my phone and a bedtime lockout helps.
There's a major subtlety here that a top line fertility rate measurement is missing. Fertility (births/1000 people) has risen dramatically among Americans in their 30's and 40's! But it has dropped for people in their 20s and collapsed for teenagers. In the 90's teenagers were having babies at the same rate as people in their early 30's (!!), and now they aren't. People in their early 20's are having fewer because of easy and cheap birth control, education and attempts to establish careers. You don't need a big conspiracy to explain that.
Good ol' GE, such a quirky product line: coffee makers, jet engines, alarm clocks, gatling guns, washing machines, and nuclear power plants.
Either skeezy AF scam, or Google.
I remember playing Mortal Kombat at my friends house on Saturday mornings on one of those. And of course we knew the blood kode.
Sorta related, if you’re really interested in using them and are a straight cis person I highly recommend trying them out from the other side. Create a more or less generic account of the opposite gender and see what kinds of messages, likes, or whatever you end up with. It will be mind boggling how different it is from what you are used to and give you an idea of what you will need to do to actually make a match.
Well, sorta. As someone else pointed out the economic incentives for most dating app owners are diametrically opposed to the needs of the users. There is also a huge consolation in the market with the majority of the apps by user count being owned by a single company which leads to enshittification.
There are a few exceptions but they very much aren’t for everyone.
OKCupid from 20 years ago was great before it sold out. But it’s only accessible to time travelers.
Next are the more event based or hookup apps which tend to cater to kinksters, swingers, poly, and queer folk. I’m thinking of things like FetLife, Grinder and Plura. They work well for their audience since those communities tend to have events that people will keep coming back for even if they have successfully found someone on the app. In fact success finding someone might make them more likely to keep on the app and bring in their friends.
But for monogamous straight people? Dating apps are a hellscape.
I put a Sena setup in my and my partner’s helmets. It works pretty well and can move to a new helmet or you can just put the speaker/mic setup in multiple helmets and move the controller.
How do you find having the navigation buttons in the middle? It seems like it would be a bit harder to hit them?
